Adenauer's foreign office : West German diplomacy in the shadow of the Third Reich

Recounting the creation of the West German Foreign Office, this study explores three of the central themes in the early history of the Federal Republic: the integration of the new state into the international community, the cooptation of German elites by the new political system, and the creation of government in a state under foreign occupation.続きを読む

出版社によるあらすじ

"Maulucci is forthright in discussing the role that diplomats played in Nazi Germany, and also their efforts to obscure their unsavory past. At the same time, however, he avoids sensationalism and apology....Any reader who hopes to understand Germany's transition will find this book to be a rich resource." "Yearbook of German American Studies" "With impressive knowledge of the archival material and a broad perspective on the research literature, [Maulucci] analyzes the 'return' of the German diplomats from 'automatic arrest, ' Allied internment camps, and denazification procedures." "American Historical Review ""Thomas Maulucci s comprehensive analysis is both a study in continuities and discontinuities in post-World War II West German foreign policy and a deeply researched prosopography with mental maps of the Wilhelmstrasse veterans in the Federal Republic s newly created Foreign Office in March 1951. This fine study belongs in every research library."" Central European History" "続きを読む
